As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Ramos offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Encounters for Normal Pregnancies: Encounters for normal pregnancies involve routine checkups with an OB/GYN to monitor a mother's and baby's health throughout the pregnancy.
- Vaginitis or Vaginosis: Your OB/GYN is the right doctor to see if you're experiencing vaginal itching, burning, unusual discharge, or a foul odor, as these could be signs of vaginitis or vaginosis.
- Endometriosis: Your OB/GYN is the best healthcare provider to see if you suspect endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to your uterine lining grows outside your uterus, causing painful periods, heavy bleeding, and other symptoms.
- Vaginal and Pelvic Prolapse: Pelvic organ prolapse is a condition where organs such as the bladder or rectum descend into the vagina; your OB/GYN can assess your condition and recommend appropriate care.
- Ovarian Cancer: Ovarian cancer develops in the ovaries and is diagnosed and treated by OB/GYNs who provide comprehensive care throughout the process.
- Pelvic Abscess: An OB/GYN is the right doctor to see if you develop a pelvic abscess, a painful collection of pus, as they can offer effective treatment to clear the infection.
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections spread through sexual contact, and OB/GYNs diagnose and treat these infections, offering testing and appropriate medications.
- High Risk Pregnancy: If you have health conditions like diabetes or hypertension, or experience pregnancy complications, your OB/GYN will manage your high-risk pregnancy to ensure the best outcomes.
- Uterine Carcinoma: Uterine carcinoma is cancer that starts in the uterus, and an OB/GYN plays a key role in diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care.
- Twin Pregnancy: With a twin pregnancy, your OB/GYN will provide comprehensive care, including regular monitoring, specialized tests, and a customized birth plan to address the unique needs of a multiple gestation.
- Cervicitis: Cervicitis is an inflammation of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus, often caused by infection, and your OB/GYN can diagnose and treat it with antibiotics or other appropriate methods.
- Fallopian Tube Disorders: Your OB/GYN is the specialist to see if you're experiencing pain or fertility problems potentially related to your fallopian tubes; they can perform tests and recommend treatments.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Ramos:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Ramos, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist focuses on the overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. An obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Dr. Ramos provides care for women throughout their lives.
- At what age should I (or my daughter) have my first gynecologist visit?
- The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends a first gynecologist visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This first visit is often a conversation to establish a relationship and discuss healthy habits, and a pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern.
- How often do I need a Pap smear?
- Pap smear guidelines have changed. For most women ages 21-29, a Pap test is recommended every 3 years. Women ages 30-65 should typically have a Pap test combined with an HPV test every 5 years. Dr. Ramos will advise on a personalized schedule based on your individual health history.
- My partner and I are having trouble getting pregnant. When should we see a doctor?
- Couples should generally seek a fertility evaluation if they have not conceived after one year of trying (if the woman is under 35) or after six months (if the woman is 35 or older). Dr. Ramos can perform an initial workup and discuss next steps or referral to a fertility specialist.
- What is the HPV vaccine and who should get it?
- The HPV vaccine is a safe and effective vaccine that protects against the human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes most cases of cervical cancer and genital warts. It's recommended for all preteens, both boys and girls, at age 11 or 12, and can be given to young adults as well.
- What are my options for birth control?
- Birth control options include hormonal methods like pills, patches, and rings; long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) such as IUDs and implants; barrier methods like condoms; and permanent options like tubal ligation. Dr. Ramos will discuss your lifestyle and health to help you choose the best method for you.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- While some cramping is common, severe pain or heavy bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal. These symptoms could be signs of treatable conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Dr. Ramos can diagnose the cause and offer solutions.
- What is the difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and the regular medical ultrasound?
- Standard 2D ultrasound is the primary tool used to assess the baby's growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasound provides detailed, photo-like images of the baby, but is not used for medical diagnoses, and is an optional service for keepsake purposes.
